“Cause our synthetic love is all that we know

My head is a mess, And it's going to explode”

That's how Motionless in White sing, sharing the title of their song with this editorial. These photos tell of a few elements of a story, hidden behind the gaze of a human being, the model Poppy Miles. Ricardo Neves' photography focuses on close-ups, eyes, details. He feels empathy towards concealed and guarded emotions.

Each shot is enriched by the work of Chao-chi, who took care of the set design, preferring a palette of natural colors and flowers as delicate as they are ephemeral.

The close-ups on the model are embellished by the professionalism of the make-up artist Chiharu Wakabayashi and by the hairstyle that frames her face and enhances her gaze thanks to Masaki's work.

The layout was created by Francesca Rongioletti.
